What's Your Dosha?

In Ayurveda, the five elements are the building blocks for everything in the universe: Ether, Air, Fire, Water, and Earth. A combination of the elements come together to make up the three doshas, or energy types, called Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. All three are represented in a unique combination in everyone, however, one or two tend to be more abundant in most people. Your unique constitution, or combination of the doshas, is determined at conception and is basically your blueprint to your overall health. Understanding your constitution can help you identify where you are in and out of balance to optimize your health & longevity.
